I like reading about old Windowing systems from the 1980's. Often the problem is finding enough documentation about them. Anyways while doing some reading up about Sun's NeWs system I came across the following in google books:
http://books.google.com/books?id=xHSoK66z34YC&lpg=PA193&pg=PA187#v=onepage&q&f=false
Has a section regarding the port of NeWs done by SGI. Not huge amount of information but it's a nice little bit of history. For example seems the first port done internally was to an IRIS 3030 before they ported it to the 4D/70.
Anyways hope people enjoy
